I am going to finish I Want to Fly Again, but not till I'm atleast halfway finished with this one. But, I'll try and get a little something in within the next week, so hang in there!!!


"Now, begin, tell me what happened."

Minako hurried up the stairs, following Dumbledore. "Well, it all started a long time ago, in the Silver Millennium -"

"Pluto has already told me that much, she left off after Beryl was reborn."

"Yes, yes, Beryl, she was reborn, and it was not intended. Because of it, Usagi, known as Cosmos, Princess Serenity, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Sailor Moon, her destiny, to rule by Mamoru, prince of Earth, was shattered."

"Pluto tells me that Usagi's real name is Serena Voldemort Riddle. She was adopted."

"Yes, she was," Minako's voice was a soft whisper. "Her foster mother never told her. But Usagi, she came to know. Anyways, after Beryl was reborn, Mamoru found her, and fell in love with her. He left Usagi heartbroken and cold, cruel to the world. As soon as he joined Beryl, he gained dark powers. Unluckily for us, Beryl joined Chaos, the worst enemy we had to fight yet. Usagi killed her, and we were all killed, but reborn a few days later in our normal teenage state. That was how destiny was supposed to go, but Beryl was still alive. So, Mamoru call the Sailor Scouts to the Moon, where we had a terrible battle. Mamoru was killed. Everyone except for me and Usagi died, Usagi was drained of most her energy in the battle, and now we have nowhere to go. You see, Usagi's parents were holograms, made by Pluto, after Usagi's father left her. We all knew that her mother died at childbirth. So now, the holograms are gone, and Usagi is left with no one. But, it seems as if our age was set back."

"It was. You are of thirteen years and your birthday has been set to February 14 (hehe... I couldn't resist, mate...where did that come from? Oh yea, potc, my fave movie. In case you guys didn't know... Johnny Depp is MINE!!! So bak off!)"

"Oh... well, what month is it now?"

"It is February, one day after your birthday. Our school will be over soon."

"School?"

"Yes. This is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We teach magic here."

"You mean other people have magic? Like me?"

"Not quite like yours, Miss Minako. Different. Yours comes from the planet itself, pure and unfooled with. We are a breed of magic that descends from earth magic; yet, it is filtered, so certain things are impossible for us to do."

"Oh."

"Well, take a seat."

Minako gasped at the room she was in. All kinds of silver and golden trinkets lay scattered around the room, whirling and making weird noises. A bowl lay on a bookshelf, filled with a silver liquid. Books littered the room, and a large desk stood at one side. Dumbledore took a seat at the chair behind the desk, conjuring one up with his shiny stick for Minako.

"What is that stick you guys use to do magic?"

"This? Well, this is a wand. As I said, we are not able to do just any kind of magic. Unlike you, who can use magic whenever you please, we have to use wands, which has limited magic. We cannot use our powers like you. There are spells, and that's it. You, you can wish for something and your magic will make it occur."

"Oh. Well, can we go back to Usagi? I need to go to her. I can give some of my magic so that she can heal."

"She has extraordinary healing powers, I hear."

"Yes, well, she still needs help."

"Very well. I will lead you back."

One week later

Usagi's eyes fluttered open. She bit her lip, remembering what had happened, and groaned as she got up. Her head pounded and her legs felt like they were dead. She stood, and quietly made it to a door. She stepped out, seeing a portly woman tending to a young boy, and quickly made it into the hallway. She gasped. There were people of all kinds wearing black robes, and carrying books. Her eyes darted from person to person, and the people looked at her like she was a freak. She ran down the hallway, bumping into someone when she looked behind her shoulder. She stumbled and fell to the floor.

"Where the fucking hell am I?!?" she screamed. She looked up to see a pale boy, surrounded by a gang of people, two burly boys standing on either side of him. "Stop staring at me! Don't you have anything better to do with your time?"

"Oh, you must be the girl we found a week ago. It's nice to see you're finally awake," the pale boy had a drawling voice.

"A week? I've been out for a week?"

"Yes, in a coma."

"What? Where's my friends?"

"You mean blondie? She's somewhere around here. So, are you a mudblood, or a pureblood?"

"I'm not a normal human, if that's what you mean. I'm Usa- err, Serena."

"Draco... Draco Malfoy," the pale boy stuck out a hand to help her stand. The rest of the group looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Since when were you so nice, Malfoy?" a brown haired girl smirked.

"Since I saved her life," the boy named Draco smiled coldly. He pulled Usagi up to her feet, and looked at her. Her blonde hair was perfect, as if she had just brushed it. Her eyes were a deep cerulean, changing colors from silver to blue to green in a flash, like the oceans. She was wearing a white gown, which gently touched the floor. Suddenly, six figures dissolved out of thin air, and each looked only seventeen or eighteen.

"Scouts," Usagi's voice was a soft whisper, and her eyes filled with tears. "I'm so sorry. I wasn't strong enough to save you. It's all my fault. If only I tried harder. Now look at you guys. Only ghosts. I'm so sorry."

"Oh, koneko," Haruka hugged the blonde (ok, there's something I should have explained earlier. Since Usagi has special powers, ghosts are able to touch her, not just the scouts, but any ghost. K?). "Never blame yourself. The only person to blame is Mamoru." The six ghosts dissolved again, this time to go and find Minako.

"Who are they?" Draco turned to Usagi.

"They, they are my friends. They died," Usagi sobbed. "And it was all my fault."

"Hmmm... she said Mamoru. Who's that?"

"Mamoru... well, since you saved me, I guess you have the right to know. But, you are the only person I will tell. None of your... friends can know."

"Ok. Well, we're getting late for class. I'll talk to you later." Draco and his friends ambled off down the hallways, which were now clear. Usagi wandered, peeking in through a door. Her jaw dropped. There was a collection of people there, all pulling out wands and yelling something. Chairs, feathers, and desks began to disappear, and then reappear.

"What in the world?!?" Usagi stared at them. "They can do magic? Who are these people? What are they doing?" The door opened and a brawny boy stepped out. He frowned at her.

"You must be the girl everyone's talking about," he gave a smile. "I'm Oliver Wood."

"S-S-Serena," Usagi managed to smile back.

"I better tell the professor you're awake," the boy stepped back into the classroom. "Professor Flitwick! The girl is awake!" Chairs could be heard getting pushed back and a bunch of people, no older than sixteen, peered at her from behind the door. A short man made his way out the door, stumbling over his students.

"Well, well, I see you are awake!" the man had a very high-pitched squeaky voice. "It's wonderful to see you're fine! You looked ready to die when you first came. And such an amazing recovery! You can call me Professor Flitwick!"

"Serena Vol- I mean Tsukino," a blush creeped to Usagi's cheek at all the staring she received.

"It's a complete pleasure to meet you!" Flitwick grinned at Usagi, who grinned back.

"Thank you! But, I want to know, where am I? How did I get here?"

"Well, no one knows how you got here, except for your friend, and Dumbledore. But, I can tell you where you are. You're at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We teach magic here."

"Oh. But... I'm starving. Do you have any food?" Usagi gave a weak smile as her stomach growled. "I feel kinda weak. Like I can barely stand."

"Of course you do. All that healing must have taken a lot of energy. Wood, would you please lead Miss Tsukino to the Great Hall? Lunch for the sixth (or is it fifth? Correct me if I'm wrong!) will be in another ten minutes. Seat her wherever she wishes to sit. Oh, and take her to Professor McGonagall first, she needs a change of clothing and such."

"Sure."

Oliver Wood led the young girl (this is NOT a Wood/ Usa story... that's just weird, they have like four years apart!) down a chain of hallways and stairs, reaching a huge hall with four long tables. The ceiling looked as if there was no roof, and matched the sky outside perfectly. Usagi wandered over to a table.

"We have to get you to McGonagall first, Serena," Wood grabbed her hand, leading her into a large room, where a strict looking teacher was speaking sternly with a group of children who looked around twelve or thirteen. She looked around at them, spotting Draco Malfoy, who gave a small wave. She smiled back at him. "Professor McGonagall, the girl is awake. Professor Flitwick said for her to change and have lunch with the sixth years."

"Well, let me have a quick look at you, to make sure you are recovered," McGonagall stood up heading over. "Class, get back to work. Well, you must have passed Poppy without her seeing you; otherwise, she would not have let you out yet. I already know your name, Serena, Dumbledore has told Snape, Flitwick, and I all about you, of course. Remarkable. No scars! Where does it hurt?"

"I h-have a headache and my legs hurt, but that's all. Other than that, I feel fine. No pain," Usagi stood still as McGonagall inspected her. When she seemed satisfied, McGonagall stepped back, taking a look at her features.

"You look like him... it's so weird... but you have your mother's hair and eyes. Like I'm looking at him all over again... before..." McGonagall shook her head, as if to clear her thoughts.

"Look like who?"

"Your father, Serena, your father."

"I've never seen him before."

"I know. Well, here's some clothes that should fit you." McGonagall shoved a pair of jeans, a blouse, and black robes at her. Usagi took them, frowning.

"Where am I supposed to change?"

"The girl's bathroom. Oliver, if you would kindly lead Serena to the bathroom, so that she may change."

"Sure," Oliver lead Usagi out of the room and stood before a set of wide doors. "Go on in, Serena."

Usagi found herself in a leaky bathroom. One of the stalls was missing a door, and water covered half the floor. She found herself a dry stall, and quickly changed. Getting out, she heard a low moaning noise. She peeked over her bathroom stall to find an ugly ghost girl staring back at her.

"Are you here to make fun of me?" the ghost sobbed.

"Of course not! Why would I do that?" Usagi smiled. "I've never really made fun of anyone before... except for Rei."

"I'm Moaning Myrtle." Myrtle stuck out a hand to shake, then withdrew it, remembering she was a ghost.

"I'm Serena," Usagi grinned. "I can touch ghosts, you know."

"R-really?" Myrtle whispered, reaching out. Usagi grasped her hand and shook it. "That's so weird. Then that means... you're the one... it's an honor to meet you, your highness. We ghosts are taught to respect and help you. Your mother from the past rules over us, and the dead."

"Mama? Really? That's so cool! Then you know everything about me..."

"Yes, actually. Oops, better get going!" Myrtle swirled down the toilet, shrieking. Usagi smiled, walking to the sinks. She paused, noticing a little emblem on the head of one. 'That's weird. It's a snake'. Usagi shook her head, dismissing the thought of it. She walked back out to find Oliver waiting. She frowned.

"Didn't your lunch already start, Oliver?"

"Well, yeah, but we still have a lot of time left."

"You shouldn't have waited for me. I could've asked some one for directions, you know."

"That's ok. Well, come on. I'm starving!" Oliver made his way down the hallway (that sounds weird), Usagi closely following him. When she reached the Great Hall, she gasped, clutching Oliver's arm. Hundreds of people chattered on the tables she saw before.

"There are so many people!" Usagi exclaimed.

"Yeah, I guess there are." Oliver grinned at the nervous girl, leading her in. "But don't worry, the people here will like you. You seem like the cheerful kind of girl, worry free and careless."

"Worry free," Usagi gave a sad smile. "How can I be worry free and careless when so much of the universe rests on my shoulders?" Oliver frowned at this. Usagi shrugged, and then tugged at Oliver's arms. "Well, I'm hungry, let's go!"


Ok, just to let you guys know, this is NOT an Oliver/ Usagi story, it's more like they're friends. And, remember to review! Just no flames, please!!
